"Sister..."
In a vast expanse of white space, Ling Qianji murmured unconsciously. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes. As his vision cleared, Ling Qianji immediately recognized the person standing before him. Although the face was different, he knew it instantly.
"Sister! Why?"
Ming Li, now a soul body, frowned, looking at the man before her with a faint gaze. Her voice was cold as she asked, "What are you doing to yourself like this?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qianji's face filled with grievance. "Sister... why..."
"Sigh..."
Ming Li sighed and raised her right hand, tapping Ling Qianji's forehead with her index finger. In the next second, she directly transmitted the plot to him. "Do you understand?"
A wave of unfamiliar memories surged into Ling Qianji's mind, causing him to close his eyes and furrow his brow in pain...
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Qianji slowly opened his eyes. Tears unbidden streamed down his face. His voice low, he asked, "Where is she?"
Ming Li replied, "Dead."
"And you?"
"I have to leave too."
Ling Qianji looked up, his gaze fixed on the exquisitely beautiful girl before him. "Will... we meet again?"
Ming Li paused, looking at Ling Qianji with a strange expression. "Meet for what?"
Ling Qianji, "Nothing... Thank you."
Ming Li nodded. "Since you know everything, don't mess around anymore." If anything else happened, she feared the original host's coffin lid wouldn't be able to hold down, and the mission would be directly declared a failure, which wouldn't be fun.
"Are you... caring about me?"
Meeting Ling Qianji's peculiar gaze, Ming Li's lips twitched. She felt the atmosphere was a bit off. "You... can also understand it that way."
The male lead equals the mission.
What was wrong with her caring about the mission? Absolutely nothing was wrong.
Hearing Ming Li's words, a smile bloomed on Ling Qianji's face. He spoke gently, "Thank you, can I know your name?"
Ming Li narrowed her eyes. "Ming Li."
"Ming Li? A very beautiful name."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Alright, go back. Live well."
With that, Ming Li raised her hand and pushed Ling Qianji out of the white space.
Watching the graceful figure recede from him, a hint of loss flashed in Ling Qianji's eyes. He said softly, "Okay... I promise you... Ming Li..."
As he finished speaking, Ling Qianji's vision blurred, and his surroundings gradually turned dark...
After Ling Qianji's figure completely disappeared from this world, Ming Li stood in place for a moment before her own form also vanished.
At this moment, in the system space, seeing Ming Li return, the system scurried over. Just as it was about to say something, Ming Li suddenly closed her eyes and fell straight to the ground.
"..."
The system was startled and rushed forward, catching Ming Li with its own body.
With a "bang," the system was almost rendered inoperable by Ming Li's impact.
"Host? Host! What's wrong with you?"
The system struggled to get up from the ground, rushing to Ming Li's ear and calling out repeatedly...
After an unknown amount of time, Ming Li showed no reaction. The system swallowed hard, catching sight of a chaise lounge not far away. It gritted its teeth, painfully moved Ming Li's body onto the chaise lounge, and then stayed by her side, on the verge of tears from worry...
